thanks to my message.
I help smart, driven people communicate clearly in any setting: on stage, in the boardroom, on Zoom, or over brunch.
I help you create a message that is simple, strong, and sticky
See for yourself in my TEDx talk or article.
Say what you mean. Make it matter.
Most people think public speaking is about how you say it—gestures, eye contact, voice.
But the real magic? It’s in what you say: the Message
Why message coaching?
Most people focus on sounding good instead of saying something that sticks.
As a message coach I help you craft communication that’s a SURE thing:
- Simple – complexity kills clarity.
- Understood – if they don’t get it, it doesn’t matter.
- Remembered – what’s remembered is what moves people.
- Executed – the goal isn’t applause, it’s action
Message coaching is about impact.
What I help with
Mastering public speaking changed my life—and I believe it can change yours.
My aim: clear messages, memorable takeaways, ideas that stick.
I help you:
- Get to the point — be brief and bold
- Say something worth remembering
- Be clear, not just charismatic
- Calm the nerves and feel in control
- Communicate with confidence — in any setting
When you know how to share a message with clarity and confidence, doors open.
Ideas land. People listen.
I help smart, successful people become clear, compelling communicators whether it’s on stage, on Zoom, in a boardroom, or at brunch. If you’re tired of not saying what you mean, you’re in the right place.
Client Testimonials
I was hopelessly stuck while creating postgraduate lecture content. Gillian engaged with me in the process, brainstorming, strategizing and sparking creativity throughout! She understands the mechanics and theory behind how to communicate effectively, and is even better at empowering you to do it yourself. I had several students comment appreciatively on my pacing and concept clarity – all thanks to Gillian’s genius!

My Approach
I’m a professional speaker and evaluator. I bring humour, insight, and real-time feedback to help you grow fast.
My approach is fun, fearless, and full of feedback — because no one becomes a great communicator alone.
The best ideas don’t just land, they last.
Stop Rehearsing. Start Improving.
You’ve rehearsed in the mirror. Maybe even nailed it in your head. But the moment you’re in front of real people – your boss, a big crowd, or that high-stakes meeting, something shifts.
What went wrong? And more importantly, how do you fix it?
That’s where I come in.
Clarity. Confidence. Career momentum. Let’s say what we mean and mean what we say.
Ready to level up your speaking, your confidence, and your career?
A message that sticks is a message that spreads.
